Howdy,
Sorry if this not the right forum for such a post... mod me if not, and apologies in advance.
I'm a solo spare-time developer seeking a creative (design + art) partner to collaborate on game projects. I'm especially interested in browser based MMO's, like Domain of Heroes, Kingdom of Loathing, etc (not so much Mafia Wars and the like...)
I'm a good developer but have zero art skills and not the best game designer. I'm tired of being limited by a deficit of these skills, so I'm looking for a partner, perhaps someone on the flip side of this coin: good art and design skills, but without the technical capacity to put their ideas in motion.
About me: I spent about 6 years working in the triple-A PC game industry, largely doing AI for first person shooters. Good times but not the kind of games I like to play, or therefore, make. After that I switched gears and worked on the web/ecommerce for about 4 year at Amazon. So I definitely have a good mix of the game+web development background you'll need for a browser-based online game. I largely work in Java, Ruby, C++, and JavaScript.
I'm looking for someone who can get involved in game design, writing, and most imporantly, artwork. Preferably strong with concept art and illustration since a browser based MMOG will feature mostly static images.
This is kind of "blind date" request for collaboration, but my friends who fit the bill do this stuff for more-than-full-time, and so they have no cycles left over at night to join me. I'm tired of being hampered by having no art, and of course, two people motivating each other work a lot better than one person.
If you're interested, drop me a message at newobj at gmail.com and let's chat casually...
Thanks,
Brian
